The pilot program may be extended if successful, according to officials.Fivesquares is also working to redevelop the Metro station’s large surface parking lot. Metro agreed to sell the lot to the developer at a price that will be determined after Montgomery County approves the minor master plan for the area that will set new zoning and density limits. Fivesquares is planning to build a mixed-use development project, dubbed Strathmore Square, with possibly more than 1,000 units, ground floor retail and four to six buildings.“This is the beginning of the transformation of Grosvenor Metro station and this parking lot into transit-oriented development,” Altman said. “Today is the start of the process.”Fivesquares principal Ron Kaplan, a former Federal Realty executive who worked on Bethesda Row, said the company plans to invest more than $1 billion in the development.Earlier this month, county planning staff recommended zoning near the station that would allow about 1,100 new homes and buildings up to 260 feet tall. The Planning Board is scheduled to discuss the minor master plan Thursday.Metro is planning to replace the 412 parking spaces that would be lost when the development is constructed by adding spaces to the existing parking garage at the site.Credit: Andrew MetcalfThis story was updated with the correct spelling of Borekg Turkish Bakery. http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Bethesda-Beat/2017/New-Pop-Up-Shops-Unveiled-at-Grosvenor-Strathmore-Metro/

Poinsettias signify the holiday season - The Post

Monday, December 17, 2018

We’re really just holding back for the big celebration at Christmas. So, when we set out the flowers and everything it means it’s full-on Christmas.”@_kerijohnsonkj153517@ohio.edu... https://www.thepostathens.com/article/2018/12/poinsettias-holiday-flower-florist-athens

The Rose Bowl is not only synonymous with the game, which this year pits Big-10 winner Ohio State against Pac-12 champion Washington, but it’s also forever linked with the New Year’s holiday and the grandiose, flower-filled floating masses of creativity, seemingly fallen from the floral gods.The Tournament of Roses Parade, now in its 130th year, on Jan. 1 will cruise 5.5 miles through the streets of Pasadena, California, on its way to the Rose Bowl. The event is televised by ABC, NBC, Hallmark Channel, and RFD-TV, and begins at 10 a.m. central. Besides the parade floats everyone has become so familiar with, with sponsors ranging from municipalities and international clubs to cruise lines to restaurant chains, the two-hour procession also features celebrity musical acts and specially invited marching bands to aid the lively event.But how is small town florist from southwest Arkansas invited to decorate and design one of these monstrous parade floats? By asking Joslin herself, it’s due to years of building her skills and chasing dreams.“I’ve been doing this since I was a teenager,” she said. “My aunt was a florist. She lived in Oklahoma City and came down and taught me the basics of floral design.”Joslin for a decade owned Bridget’s Holiday Shoppe on Magnolia’s square then freelanced in Texas before opening her current downtown floral operation last year. In that span, she gained multiple floral design certifications, including a Louisiana Master Floral license in 1999, an Arkansas Master ... http://www.magnoliabannernews.com/news/2018/dec/14/magnolia-florist-headed-tournament-roses-parade/

Can the season's plentiful poinsettia displays be harmful to you or your pets? - Colorado Springs Gazette

Monday, December 17, 2018

Springs In Bloom florist, 318 E. Colorado Ave. Quite a number of the bad-tasting leaves would have to be consumed to sicken someone. An Ohio State University study showed that a 50-pound child would have to eat more than 500 poinsettia leaves to have any side effects.“Those beautiful flowers you’ve been so wary of keeping in your home during the holidays (lest they poison pets or children) are not toxic,” reports Live Science, citing a study that looked at nearly 23,000 cases of poinsettia exposure reported to poison control centers. None was fatal, and the most severe responses were stomach aches. The poinsettia fears probably were sparked, Live Science writes, by a 1919 case in which a child was said to have died after eating parts of a poinsettia, but neither the death nor the poinsettia connection was confirmed.The milky white sap inside the plant’s stem can cause an allergic reaction — especially among those with latex (rubber) allergies, since latex and poinsettia plants share several proteins. Possible skin irritation from the sap may include redness, swelling and itchiness. It also can irritate eyes. Generally, these reactions don’t require medical treatment unless they are severe and persistent.If you happen to rub poinsettia sap into your eyes... https://gazette.com/life/can-the-season-s-plentiful-poinsettia-displays-be-harmful-to/article_5a5f17ec-f4d6-11e8-8399-cbea3dc81409.html
